WANA (Oct 29) – Following summoning Iran’s chargé d’affaires in Berlin and strong objection to the Iranian government regarding execution of Jamshid Sharmahd an Iranian-German dual national, leader of the “Thunder” terrorist group by Germany, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s FM in a post on his official social media account on X, stated: “A German passport provides no immunity for anyone, let alone a terrorist criminal.”

 

Araghchi has asserted that Iran does not allow terrorists to act with impunity, even if they have foreign backing. He referenced Iranian national Jamshid Sharmahd, who allegedly orchestrated an attack on a mosque, resulting in 14 deaths—including women and children—and injuring over 200. According to Araghchi, the evidence against Sharmahd is publicly accessible, and a German passport cannot shield anyone from facing justice.

WANA (Oct 29) – Following the execution of Jamshid Sharmahd, leader of the “Thunder” terrorist group and an Iranian-German dual national, Germany’s Foreign Ministry announced it has summoned Iran’s chargé d’affaires in Berlin and recalled its ambassador from Tehran for consultations.

He expressed frustration at what he perceives as gaslighting and called on European leaders, specifically German officials, to cease support for those he described as “child killers and terrorists” and to avoid hiding behind what he termed “hypocritical” human rights rhetoric.

 

He further criticized Germany for its historical involvement in supplying Saddam Hussein’s regime with chemical weapons and claimed that Germany, as the second-largest supplier of arms to Israel, is complicit in the violence in Gaza and Lebanon.

Iranian Foreign minister also reacted to Josep Borrell, Vice-President of the European Commission who stated on his X account about Jamshid Sharmahd.

 

Josep Borrell condemned killing of Jamshid Sharmahd in the strongest possible terms and said, “The EU strongly opposes the death penalty at all times and in all circumstances. It is a violation of the right to life and the ultimate denial of human dignity.”

 

He also shared the sorrow of the family and loved ones and extended solidarity to the German government with whom were in touch and mentioned, “The EU is considering measures in response.”

 

In response Seyed Abbas Araghchi, Iranian diplomat said that while European leaders speak of protecting life and human dignity, their actions—particularly in supporting ongoing violence in Gaza and Lebanon—often contradict these values.

 

He questioned why the EU has not implemented measures to halt the deaths of over 50,000 Palestinians in Gaza, to facilitate the return of 1.5 million refugees in Lebanon, or to support the families affected by acts linked to figures like Jamshid Sharmahd. Without meaningful action, he argues, Europe risks being seen as hypocritical.
